If it came from Gert at Carnewal.com it should just plug right in. If it is off of ebay, no telling. A picture of the connector might help. (Of course, I'm assuming that you know how to physically remove the old one ...)

It is an LED so watch the polarity.

Does the new LED light have instructions?

The wire2 should be marked (i.e. power and ground).

Have you been able to remove the original light? There is a small "plug" that must be removed from one end of the old light. It slides out like a key, revealing a small slot in the old light. Use a small flat head screwdriver to turn the slot ( don't remember if left or right but don't force it. Should go easy) This unlocks the old light and allows it to be pivoted out. Unplug the old light and plug the new one in. It is installed in the opposite manner ( i.e. slip new light in and turn the slotted piece to lock it in place. Then insert the plug.

If you have done this and the light still doesn't work, you need to reverse the wires in the plug. IIRC, Gert has instructions for that procedure. Very easy to do with a small screwdriver.
